Been to both, and LA has not that much to offer, for me. San Fran, love the area, city, food, people, nightlife, etc.

D.K. Shifflet & Associates is a Travel research company. Many major US cities include NY, Chicago, SF, LA, Seattle..etc. use data pubished by DKSA to estimate the tourism rankings and trends for their cities. Most cities did not use Forbes data because they know the info is not reliable. That's a big difference. So sad

Tourism rankings

A revised formula for calculating the number of domestic visitors to a city each year has vaulted Chicago into a four-way tie for first in 2006 with Atlanta, Orlando and New York. In 2005, under the old formula, Chicago was No. 4.

2006 rankings, new formula

1. Chicago (4-way tie)

1. Atlanta

1. Orlando

1. New York

2. Houston

3. Atlantic City

4. San Diego

5. Dallas

6. San Antonio

7. Los Angeles

8. Las Vegas

2005 rankings, new formula

1. Orlando

2. Atlanta

3. Chicago

4. Las Vegas

5. New York

6. Dallas

7. San Antonio

8. Houston

9. San Diego

10. Los Angeles

2005 rankings, old formula

1. Orlando

2. Las Vegas (tie)

2. New York (tie)

3. San Diego

4. Chicago

5. Los Angeles

6. Atlantic City

7. Atlanta

You can't come up with anything either. If I said there was nothing to do in LA you'd be all over me. Get over yourself.

D.K. Shifflet & Associates (never heard of them?

One question: What makes these people and associates reliable?

I just went to their home page. If you look it at it, It looks VERY un-reliable and VERY unprofessional.
